Substitute for The Alpha King novel Chapter 8

When she left her father's house, Hannah got back to the house, she was still downcast over the fact that she did not receive the dowry that she intended to receive. It was a good thing that she beat up Jessica , she had long wanted to do that to her, and do when the opportunity presented itself, she didn't hesitate on jump on it.

However, as she made her way into the living room, Hannah reclined on the seat, her eyes sad, filled with a lot of emotion. She raked her hand through her hair and stared into space. She was lost in Thoughts for a moment when her mobile phone began to ring in her bag. She took it out and stared on the screen, her heart races as sweat covered her forehead. The only thing that she could do was pick up the call and put it in her ear.

"Doctor"

"Hannah, I need to talk to you about your mother".

She shook her head uncertain what he wanted to say about her mother. Fear engulfed her, she was the woman who gave her life and she loved her dearly.

"What about her? Is anything wrong with her? Please tell me what it is" She was tensed, hearing about her mother puts her in a different mood. Everyone knows that already.

"I just wanted to tell you that your mother will have to stop her treatment if you don't pay the bills"

"I will get the money sir, please don't stop the treatment"

"You don't understand Hannah, it is not up to me, the hospital has decided to stop the treatment, this is not a charity organisation, i took the initiative to call you because I don't want another person doing this right now, since I am in charge of the patient, I think I should let you know"

"I will get the money"

"Then get it otherwise you are the only one to blame if you lose your mother" With that he ended the call.

Hannah felt her heart Squeeze, if it wasn't for her people who tricked her, she would have to gotten some money to pay for the treatment. Her mother was in the hospital and bills were pilling up, she just doesn't know what to do as she did not have any money. Standing up, she paced around trying to figure out what next to do when her eyes fell on the jewelry that Shawn had given to her. She stride towards the jewelry and picked it up.

She stared at the beautiful necklace and wondered how much it was worth. However, this was a gift, a heirloom that was just gifted to her, she could not just be thinking of selling off for money. Nevertheless, her mothers life was at stake, she could not bear to lose her. How could she watch her die when she can sell this off and save her mother life? She had nothing to say, she was confused, Hannah was having never been so confused before in her life.

Two choices rested in her palms, both were important to her but she has to pick one. Which is it going to be? She thought.

However, she had to save her mother's life, she was her mother and somehow she knew she needed to live.

"I need to sell this" She placed a kiss on the jewelry and left the house. She walked to the jewelry shop and when she handed over the jewelry to the shop keeper, he was left nonplussed for a moment as he gawked at the jewelry.

"Excuse me, I will be right back"

"Is there a problem?" She asked as if sensing the difference in his attitude.

"Not at all, you just hold on see, I will be right back, alright?"

She nodded her head and watch them the shop keeper as she walked into a other small room. She wondered what he was going to do but doesn't really pay much attention to him as what was on her mind was her poor mother.

When the Shopkeeper hit into the small room, he took out his phone and called up
